Seiko Presmatic Hi-Beat 5146-7000 Black Stardust Dial

The 5146 movement, introduced in 1969, stands as one of Seiko’s most advanced mechanical calibers of its time. Beating at 28,800 bph, it represents the final evolution of the 51 series and is notable for its unconventional features: a quickset date function activated by pressing the side of the crown, and a jumping day-date change mechanism linked to its 24-hour setup. These technical innovations give the movement a unique character and mark it as a standout among Seiko’s vintage automatic calibers.

This 1969 Seiko Presmatic 5146-7000 presents an elegant and distinctive egg-shaped (oval) case, topped with a raised acrylic crystal that enhances its retro charm. The black stardust dial subtly shimmers under light, perfectly complemented by baton indices and baton hands, achieving a design that is both minimalist and bold. The day-date display is thoughtfully positioned for visual balance, enhancing the overall harmony of the dial layout.

The watch remains in original head-only condition, showing minimal signs of wear. The dial and crystal are clean, the polished case is well preserved, and the movement runs well with all functions operating as intended. It is fitted with a Bambi stainless steel strap in a style closely resembling the original bracelet.

Rarely seen on the vintage market, the Presmatic 5146-7000 is a compelling and collectible model valued for both its mechanical innovation and distinctive styling. A true hidden gem for vintage Seiko enthusiasts and collectors alike.
